Eating meat for nutrients is like smoking for air, yes there are some micro nutrients in it besides the protein and fat micro nutrients and but they come at an extreme caloric and saturated fat cost in general, unlike plants. If you live on only animal products you are likely to get diseases like scurvy, or like the Inuit have a rampant rate of atherosclerosis. B12 is produced by bacteria in the dust, meat in modern factory farms only has it because it gets injected in the animals. Living in nature drinking from spring water and not washing everything so throughly we would get all the B12 we need. Instead of injecting the supplement in the cow and eating it, just take it straight. > There are plenty of nutrients found in meat and not found in plants Literally all nutrients in meat come from plants, or can be made by our body based on plants, there are no magical nutrients in meat it's myth. > They are also in a less bioavailable form, Certain nutrients like iron are excessively concentrated in meat, and eating it every day 3 times a day is toxic, so having less of it per volume is a good thing not a bad thing. All the vitamins that you need are available in plants, A, K2, you name it. There is no magical nutrient missing they all come from plants. As you mentioned, your body also produces vitamin D, you can go outside which is healthy anyway and that's it. Your body produces Vitamin D just like the animals. Our body can either consume directly or produce based on plants anything that it needs in sufficient amount. There is nothing magical about meat, its completely optional for a healthy human diet in all stages of life - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19562864 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19562864
